So for all of you who know me, losing weight does not come easily to me, but I am still determined!
After next week, I will be back to my regularly scheduled programming aka. Goodlife Fitness 4x a week.
I will also be adding XENICAL to my regular diet and exercise plan.
Xenical is a FAT BLOCKER pill. It promotes loss of
weight by preventing the digestion and absorption of fat in food. In the
intestine, an enzyme called lipase (produced primarily by the pancreas) breaks
apart fat in food so that it can be absorbed into the body. Xenical blocks the
action of lipase and thereby prevents the breakup and absorption of fat. Xenical blocks absorption of about 25% of the fat in a meal. The unabsorbed fat
is excreted in the stool.
Orlistat is combined with a reduced-calorie diet to promote weight loss. Orlistat also may be used to prevent weight gain after weight has
been lost. Candidates for treatment with orlistat are patients who are obese
with a body mass index of more than 30 kg/m2. Candidates
also include patients with a body mass index of between 27 and 30 kg/m2 if other
risk factors for arteriosclerosis are present such as high blood pressure, risk of diabetes, and high blood cholesterol, or triglycerides. Based on several
scientific studies, the average weight loss that is achieved additionally when orlistat is
taken as recommended for six months to one year is 22.4 to 23.4 pounds, without change to exercise or diet.
